- Two hundred and five Cerec ceramic inlays placed by 8 dentists in 72 patients were examined independently by 3 calibrated evaluators 12-24 months after insertion, using the criteria of the California Dental Association (CDA) and also certain periodontal variables. Proximal dental plaque and bleeding on probing were not seen more often on Cerec surfaces than on control homologous surfaces. Ten patients reported postoperative sensitivity after treatment with Cerec inlays. Excellent CDA ratings for Color and Surface were obtained in 57% and 26%, respectively, and for Anatomic Form and Margin Integrity in 55% and 83%, respectively. Obvious differences were seen among the participating dentists with regard to the clinical quality of Cerec inlays. At present, the long-term performance of the Cerec technique cannot be predicted.

- Properties of the receptor--G protein--adenylyl cyclase system were studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) treated with adriamycin (ADR, 1 mg/kg per week) for 12 weeks. An identical dosing schedule caused a significantly greater decline in body weight gain and a marked elevation of plasma norepinephrine level in SHR than in WKY. A significant increase in the messenger RNA encoding Gi-alpha 2 was found in SHR+ADR group. The activity of the adenylyl cyclase stimulated by guanyliminodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] was decreased by 49% in SHR and 73% in SHR+ADR. However, stimulated activities of adenylyl cyclase by both sodium fluoride and forskolin remained unchanged. Functional level of stimulatory G-protein (Gs) as measured by reconstitution assay in sarcolemmal membrane was unaltered among different groups. Furthermore, the density of beta-adrenoceptor was significantly decreased without change of its affinity. Muscarinic receptors exhibited a three-site affinity distribution in SHR+ADR whereas other groups displayed only two-site affinity distribution. These results suggest that SHR exhibited a depressed myocardial adenylyl cyclase signaling system which may not be due to the functional uncoupling of beta-adrenoceptors from Gs but to the increased inhibitory G-protein (Gi) activity as demonstrated by the increased mRNA of Gi-alpha 2, increased inhibition of Gpp(NH)p-mediated adenylyl cyclase and the super high affinity for carbachol of the muscarinic receptors. Decreased beta-adrenoceptor density and functional alteration of Gi might be regarded as the predisposing factors for the increased susceptibility of myocardium of SHR to ADR.

- To evaluate the exocrine pancreatic function at the time of diagnosis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, we determined immunoreactive an-odal and cathodal trypsin(ogen) levels in sera from almost all children (n = 375) 0-14 years of age in Sweden in whom diabetes developed during 1 year, and in sex-, age-, and geographically matched control subjects (n = 312). The median level of anodal trypsin(ogen) was 5 (quartile range, 3-7) µg/L in children with newly diagnosed diabetes, compared with a median level of 7 (quartile range, 4-8) µg/L in control subjects (p < 0.0001). Similarly, the median level of cathodal trypsin(ogen) was 8 (quartile range, 4-10) µg/L in children with diabetes, compared with a median level of 11 (quartile range, 7-15) µg/L in control subjects (p < 0.0001). The median of the individual ratios between cathodal and anodal trypsin(ogen) was 1.4 in the diabetic patients and 1.7 in the control children (p < 0.001). In a multivariate test, however, only the decrease in cathodal trypsin(ogen) concentration was associated with diabetes. The levels of trypsin(ogen)s did not correlate with levels of islet cell antibodies, present in 81% of the diabetic children. Several mechanisms may explain our findings, for example, similar pathogenetic factors may affect both the endocrine and exocrine pancreas simultaneously, a failing local trophic stimulation by insulin on the exocrine cells may decrease the trypsinogen production, and there may be an increased elimination of trypsin(ogen) because of higher filtration through the kidneys in the hyperglycemic state.
